Eden Hazard, the former Real Madrid player, humorously reflects on his retirement from football and his current life as a father of five, stating he considers himself more of a taxi driver than a footballer.
Eden Hazard, who retired from professional football nearly three years ago due to persistent physical issues, shared insights about his current life in a recent interview. The former professional player humorously remarked that he feels 'more of a taxi driver than a footballer' as he primarily drives his children around and enjoys a quieter, family-centered existence. Hazard lives a simple life, stating that he relishes the small joys of family life with his wife and five children, highlighting a significant shift from his previous career's fast-paced environment.
Reflecting on the speed of life, particularly in football, Hazard noted how quickly time has flown by—he felt youthful at 19 and is now 35, emphasizing the importance of enjoying life beyond the football pitch. He expressed his contentment with the changes, alluding to the fact that being a family man has its own rewards and joys, which he has learned to appreciate.
Hazard also confirmed that Madrid remains his home, citing the family connections, the children's upbringing, the favorable climate, and the food as reasons for his family's stay. Despite a challenging stint at Real Madrid, where recurring injuries limited his playing time, Hazard's current focus is on family life and appreciating the personal connections he has built outside of the sport.
